'With its blend of wit, charm and cleverly plotted surprises, Death of the Eleven-Toed Man is proof that village life is anything but quiet.' Reader review ?????
They say curiosity killed the cat, but in the sleepy village of Monksworthy, it's about to unearth a body.
Life is finally settling down for the Wye Valley Widows. Sylvie, Liz and Harriet are content running their tearoom, swapping gossip and sprucing up Monksworthy for the upcoming Village of the Year competition.
But peace and quiet was never going to last in their picture-perfect corner of the Wye Valley. When their friend and local aristocrat Sir Barnaby Cavendish-Mortimer joins the village detectorists, he unearths something a little more unexpected than just old Roman coins - a dead body buried on his estate.
A body with eleven toes.
The villagers waste no time jumping to conclusions. All fingers - and toes, it seems - point to Sir Barnaby as the killer.
The Widows know that can't be true. So, armed with endless cups of tea, sharp intuition and more pastries than strictly necessary, they roll up their sleeves to clear his name.
Then someone else is found dead. And this time, Sylvie, Liz and Harriet know the victim. This isn't just a case of whodunit - it's a question of who's next.
Can the Wye Valley Widows solve the mystery before the murderer strikes again - or will one of them be next?
Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, the Reverend Richard Coles, Kristen Perrin, Veronica Heley or Fiona Leitch.
